How Are Our Churches Surviving During COVID?

What this episode covers

We sit down and talk with three pastors about how the pandemic has affected their churches, their membership, and their ability to keep the doors open. Church and faith are such a big part of our Appalachian culture, but many churches in our region may have to close their doors for good. #Appalachia #Church #pastors #Bristol #Virginia #Tennessee #faith
